Amnesia is one of my all-time favorite games. F.E.A.R. should have been scary, but all the scary parts were completely non lethal, so I just laughed and ran through them. Layers of Fear was similar in that a lot of the time it was creepy, but not lethal. It's kinda like checking if friendly fire is on or if fire damages the player. You need to set expectations in games or play with the player's ideas of what is and is not safe.

Odd aside, it's my test in a horror game to see if I should actually take threats seriously. If you see something creepy- can it kill you? Some games it's just creepy stuff that can only scare you- but if it can't hurt you then no big deal and loses all risk and threat.

39 here and still playing. The worst part is STILL having a huge backlog of steam games to work through.

It's also funny because most of my heavy conservative coworkers all have beards, trucks, and country stuff because that's the image.

Now that I think about it, quite a few are bald and shave their heads, sooo... Maybe that's an angle they could shoot for? Those could be some wild ads.

I'd be watching a car accident compilation and a Buick starts trying to tell me to ask my doctor about Cymbalta. You know... I might actually watch that.

Yes, but then ONE person is going to blow it on something stupid, post it online, and be the example for the justification for the entire program to be shut down.

Pluto, obviously.

I vaguely recall that as one of the explanations for why they have not found all the wrecks in the triangle- the sea floor there is underwater quicksand

You could always also read at a public pool. Grab a spot, get some sun maybe a swim, and read a few chapters.

I thought that was a huge tsunami behind her at first and was wondering why you'd take a picture so casually in front of an impending catastrophe.

Nah, long enough car trips you figure out how to not only stack all the rings, but in correct rainbow order.
